Question

Just returned to programming in C++.
the errors i get:

request for member begin in sent is of non-class type char[30]

request for member end in sent is of non-class type char[30]

char sent[] = "need to break this shiat down";
    for(vector<string>::iterator it=sent.begin(); it!=sent.end(); ++it){
        if(*it == " ")
            cout << "\n";
        else
            cout << *it << endl;
    }

should i change the char to string or define the vector differently?

Answer 1

You can also use streaming to throw out the whitespace and throw in newlines.

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    stringstream ss("need to break this shiat down.", ios_base::in);

    string s;
    while (ss >> s)
        cout << s << endl;

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Result:

need
to
break
this
shiat
down.
